Of the 41 navies invited, confirmations from over 30 navies have been received towards their participation in MILAN 2020.

A detailed presentation to apprise the attendees of the planned activities of MILAN was conducted.




VAdm. S.N. Ghormade has solicited wholehearted support and cooperation from the city administration, civic bodies, police department and PSUs in co-hosting the multinational Naval, a statement from the Navy read.
